Bewitched?

This chapter explores the modern organization of Africa as a continent. It uses Yves Mudimbe's representation of colonial organizations. The chapter argues that a collision of modern material individualism with the African perspective of 'the wealth in people,' appears as 'witchcraft' where an African picks up weapons to kill another in the name of autochthon versus a stranger. The answer to the impasse between Western capitalism and African integration is in delving in both in a manner that critiques and affirms to provoke further thoughts towards a lasting solution.
